Chapter 66: Revolutionary Invention

What is the most important thing in maintaining the ruling structure of the Holy See?

Faith?

Force?

Money?

Well, these are all important, but the most important, and undoubtedly the most important, is a technology of unknown inventorship - large, super-large equipment floating technology, to put it bluntly, the basic technology of floating boats.

Before the invention of the float boat, it took three years to travel by land from one side of human society to the other, and the holy mountain of Hijal, located in the north of human society, had countless messengers driving fast horses to and from all corners of the continent every day, and every year the Holy See had to take out 12% of the financial revenue to burden the postal system throughout the continent, and the effect was not very good.

Of course, even with the airship, the existence of the four dioceses is still necessary, after all, the airship is still not fast enough, and the dependence on the air duct is very serious.

Wind ducts are something that was discovered by humans only after the invention of airships. It is a fast and stable airflow channel that exists in the upper altitude, and it is a channel for the flow of naturally formed wind elements, which connects the sky of the entire continent, continuously adjusts the concentration and energy of wind elements in various places, and maintains a dynamic balance.

After the invention of the airship, mankind discovered the wind duct, so that the airship can no longer only rely on the unstable natural wind at high altitude, but obtain a continuous and stable elemental wind, and obtain a natural airship highway. Since then, mankind has truly ushered in the spring of development, and for the first time, human countries all over the continent have truly united to resist attacks from the direction of orcs and elves, and establish the foundation for human expansion.

The development of human cities has also shown a new atmosphere, no longer limited to minerals, land, rivers, etc., and even new cities that rely on wind ducts have emerged.

The county of Count Fibudach is such a unique city, two large-capacity air ducts intersect here, and there are many smaller air ducts connecting the surrounding human cities, coupled with smooth and wide roads, so that such a city with few resources, even food imports have gradually developed into a place of wealth in the southern diocese, bringing immeasurable wealth to its lord, Count Feibudaxu.

Victor's team has been on the road for almost a month, and even the silver phantom that used to dominate the imperial capital has become a strange sight for the people of Lawrence City, but the chassis of this car is low, and the road in the city is paved with large stones, and you have to be blind when you leave the city. The world's long-distance ground transportation mainly relies on horse-drawn carriages and other very primitive and backward means, and there is no need to look forward to road conditions, but jeeps can still walk.

The technology of the world of Elis is too backward, and when Victor set off, he requisitioned a heavy airship, which is a relatively large type of passenger airship, but the self-sustaining ability is only 15 days. Lawrence is densely populated, and there are many supply points to choose from, but after leaving the border, there are large sections of the route located in the no-man's land, and if you want to supply smoothly, the restrictions are relatively large.

“...... Therefore, after about 5~7 days, Victor's airship will inevitably appear in the county of Feibudach. ”

"Oh oh oh oh~~~"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was sparse applause from the audience, but it did not affect Elsa Camilla, who was standing on several wooden boxes, to speak eloquently, and it was reasonable and unrefutable. Qin Shouzhuo's heart at this time was like 100,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, and he almost couldn't help but flip the table.

Why is the Legion Commander here?

"Ahaha~ Because I was assigned to the reserves......" seemed to see Qin Shouchuang's question, and Elsa Camilla touched the back of her head with a smirk.

To put it simply, it's still the same as the political struggle. In the battle between Qin Shouzhuo and Victor, Elsa Camilla's legion acted the fastest, rushing to the scene first, forming a confrontation with the Templars, which was one of the main reasons for forcing Victor to retreat, and the saintess Angel she brought along the way was the key to saving Qin Shouzhuo.

Originally, the two factions in the empire were balanced, and the imperial faction occupied the name of righteousness, and Elsa found an abnormal situation and mobilized the army in time to deal with it, showing the excellent quality of the Third Cavalry Legion, and it was politically correct. But when the imperialists were defeated, this politically correct status was gone. Elsa's unauthorized mobilization of troops was interpreted as a conspiracy, and the act of rushing to the aid of Duke Jefferson constituted an assault on the Holy See and became a sinner who undermined the relationship between the Empire and the Holy See.

Fortunately, due to the desperate resistance of the Imperial faction, the Holy See had no right to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of the Imperial Army, but Elsa Camilla was still removed from the position of commander of the cavalry corps, and her rank was also demoted from the quasi-admiral to the commander of the thousand cavalry, and she was incorporated into the reserve, which can be regarded as an indishonorable discharge.

Upon learning that their daughter had been demoted and discharged from the army, the elder Camilla and his wife were overjoyed.

The old couple had such a daughter, but when they were young, they were separated by a thief attack, and they thought that they had suffered a tragic accident, and they didn't want this daughter to follow the imperial army to kill back. When he was crusading against the thieves, he took the lead and charged ahead, not only retaking the manor, but also slaughtering the leader of the bandit with his own hands. After the news spread, the surrounding aristocratic families congratulated the Camilla family on their rescue, but on the other hand, they secretly laughed at the Camilla family's poor family education and raised a wild boy.

Since then, the daughter's marriage has become the biggest concern of the two elders.

Elsa Camilla, who became a reserve officer at a young age, was ready to marry herself off with peace of mind, but on the third day of her dismissal, hundreds of sturdy men came to her family, all of whom were the backbone of the original Third Cavalry Regiment. As soon as the big guy heard that the corps commander had been dismissed, he directly handed over his resignation report, and all of them were transferred to the reserves, and they came to the eldest sister to eat, without giving the new corps commander any face.

Good guy, there are hundreds more food and food in one go, and Elsa has no choice but to give up her original plan and simply get a mercenary group, so as to accommodate those guys with excess energy. Later, the new commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment came to look for trouble, but it was useless, and he was directly pushed back by Elsa.

These guys have been staring at Qin Shouzhuo for a long time, and they all know that Qin Shouzhuo is not so easy to give up, and they are all waiting to beat those Holy See's beatings to find a way back. Seeing that Qin Shouzhuo was ready to leave, he immediately ran over and asked to join in, and in order to show the weight, he also pushed his eldest sister's head up and took a lupine scarf.

Qin Shouzhuo said that he was very moved, and then rejected them.

Just kidding, there are hundreds of people, how can they fit so many, the means of transportation that Qin Shouzhuo prepared for this pursuit of Victor is an airplane. Is there a plane that can take a few hundred people? Yes, but that requires the support of a highly developed entire industrial system, and this is not something that Qin Shouzhuo's current grass platform team can do. It was really even a plane that was airlifting hundreds of people at a time, and Qin Shouzhuo had already shot a long-range missile, which was simpler.

The vehicle that Qin Shouzhuo prepared for this operation is a small aircraft, it looks somewhat similar to a ship, the fuselage is 20m long, the wingspan is 32 meters, equipped with two huge electric motors, and theoretically has a power output of close to 1300 horsepower.

No seaplane in the history of World War II could challenge the status of PBY Catalina, and PBY continued to produce it for 10 years, making it the most produced seaplane, even more than all other seaplanes of World War II combined. Although PBY was one of the slowest planes of World War II, and some people even say that PBY's navigator needed not a radio and a stopwatch, but a calendar, and called it the most ridiculous plane, this does not affect PBY's strong adaptability and extremely versatile use. From ground bombing, anti-submarine, reconnaissance, anti-ship attacks to commando transport, PBY is the most versatile aircraft in World War II and one of the most influential seaplanes in the world.

More importantly, this kind of aircraft has a simple structure, which is very suitable for Qin Shouzhuo's grass platform team at this time. In addition to the two huge electric motors that need to be built by Qin Shouzhuo himself, the fuselage part uses a lot of wood, and the whole flat crystal used for the window is controlled by Qin Shouzhuo using earth magic. As mentioned earlier, Qin Shouzhuo is a master in this kind of magic application for construction, how to use magic to control the growth of large flat crystals, Qin Shouzhuo only took one day to develop.

A few days ago, Qin Shouzhuo had already bought a piece of river beach land outside the south gate of the imperial capital with the help of Sophia, and ordered United Industry to build a dock on that river beach, just to assemble Katarina. With the help of earth-based magic, in just three days, a huge factory building rose on this river beach. Unlike the open-air docks that were customary at this time, the new docks of United Industries were fully enclosed, with the gates at both ends not open, and no one knew what was going on inside.

The huge factory building is on the shore at one end and extends into the water at the other. The night before, Qin Shouzhuo and the others had secretly arrived here and began to assemble the Katerina, who had completed the skeleton. Although the internal space of the space wrist wheel given to Qin Shouzhuo by the head of the Cristina Academy is large, the opening is only a circle with a maximum of no more than 5m, and it is absolutely impossible for Caterina to be stuffed into the space wrist wheel after being assembled directly in the factory, let alone taking it out, it can only be disassembled into modules of appropriate thickness, and then taken to the dock for assembly.

In the process of waiting for Caterina to assemble, the first person to come to the door was the Captain of the Elsa Army, and he actually came to Mao Sui to recommend himself and asked to participate in the rescue operation, in order to increase his weight, he also made a careful analysis of Victor's whereabouts. This analysis was indeed too thorough, so that Qin Shouzhuo had to take a high look.

Because he was afraid that they would be bored waiting, after Qin Shouzhuo moved all the supplies, he did not put away the Willis jeep, but threw it to the two princesses to practice, and a certain engineering man in the Magic Mechanics Research Society was honored to get such an opportunity to get close to the two beauties of the imperial capital - although he looked heroic and righteous.

Princess Sally was overjoyed!

She had long wanted to play with the "Steel Carriage", but unfortunately when she was testing her own magic cannon before, she didn't know Qin Shouzhuo, and she didn't want to contact it because of Sophia's presence. After that, all kinds of things were piled up, the irritable second princess was not good at business, and the princess's mansion was not very rich, so it was indeed difficult to buy one with cash immediately, but "the princess of the dignified empire didn't even touch it, it's unimaginable (Princess Sally)!"

The radiant Princess Sally was the first to climb into the Willis Jeep, and then loudly beckoned the others to get into the car, this mechanical monster Princess Sally had long wanted to ride on it and have a good time, and this time she finally caught up with this opportunity, and the excitement in her heart could not be suppressed. Sophia's performance was much calmer, she was present when the self-propelled magic cannon was tested, and she had driven it herself with interest, although she immediately said that she only needed to ride, but later after the silver phantom came out, she thought that this four-wheeled car should be the same as a two-tracked car, so she didn't expect it.

Of course, it turns out that she was wrong, and Sophia, who is quiet and gentle by nature, doesn't like Willis's flamboyant jeep, but under the influence of the crazy Princess Sally, she can't help but drive two in the workshop herself. As for Andy Orlando, he was even more unbearable, he didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he could only squat next to the dock to help, but he also yearned for it, just by looking at his neck that was about to break.

Qin Shouzhuo didn't accompany them to go crazy, although Caterina said that the structure was simple, it was not a group of natives who didn't even know about industrialization who could help assemble it with a design drawing, and most of the work had to be done by Qin Shouzhuo himself. In particular, the center trim and the installation of the engine are both technologies that require extremely high precision, and they are handed over to a group of natives to toss, and Qin Shouchou is afraid that he will go to see God before he sees Rafael.

The ship-shaped fuselage has been fixed in the dock, Qin Shouzhuo commanded the employees of United Industry to carefully lift the wings to the fuselage, and there is a fire mage burning a pot of rivets next to it, and then the riveting process is required to connect the wings and the fuselage, which is not something that can be mastered by workers who have only undergone dozens of days of training.

It's troublesome to say, it's actually very simple, Qin Shouchuang's space wrist wheel entrance and exit is a circle with a diameter of 15 meters, and Caterina can't get in, but as long as the wings and fuselage are simply removed, it's still very simple to go in vertically, so the whole work is actually to fix the fuselage, install the main wing, install the propeller, and install the tail fin. After an all-night run with a group of helpers, most of the work was done, and the airship of the mercenary group used to transport Elsa Camilla arrived outside the dock.

Now, the only thing that really is ready is the east wind.
